Completed painting Tilly, a 28mm scale mini by by Statuesque Miniatures.
Base was hand made from all sorts of stuff including plasticard, etched brass, plaster and a resin barrel.
We are now at my brother and his wife's home in Kentucky. When I saw the ODC, I had to laugh because my sister-in-law collects miniature everything. I had so many choices that I really was overwhelmed! She dumped a whole basket of miniatures out for me.
Odc: miniature world
We have a wildlife pond in the garden and earlier in the year it was full of tadpoles. No tadpoles in it now and we rarely see the young froglets. Fortunately I was in the garden today and something caught my eye. It was a tiny, but perfectly formed Common Frog (Rana temporaria).
This miniature miracle could have easily fitted on a penny piece.
The museum of miniature books in Baku was fascinating and free, just near the Shirvanshah's Palace in the Old City. This is a book of icons. There are some very tiny books in this museum. I just learned from Wikipedia that this is the only museum of miniature books in the world.
The Rhyl Miniature Railway (Welsh: Rheilffordd Fach y Rhyl) is a 15 in (381 mm) gauge miniature railway line located in Rhyl on the North Wales Coast. The line runs in a circle around a boating lake near the promenade, to the west of the town centre. The railway is operated by Rhyl Steam Preservation Trust a Registered charity.
The railway has a long association with one type of locomotive, a class of six one-third scale 4-4-2 tender engines built by Albert Barnes & Co of Rhyl.
Miniature World: The Greatest Little Show on Earth
While walking past Miniature World in Victoria, BC, I wondered if I could achieve a tilt-shift effect on an already miniaturized world by getting really, really close with my 16-35mm f/4 lens.
The f/4 gives me an already shallow DOF, and getting really close to anything decreases that DOF exponentially. The 16mm lens on my full frame Nikon is ultrawide, so I can get the entire scene in even when only inches from the model.
Turns out I could actually have gone with a smaller aperture, f/6.3 or even f/7.1, and still kept the focus tight on the man reading the paper while dropping the grannies out of focus. That capability gives me a wide range of potential subjects in every scene. The next time, I'll try a shot with the grannies in focus and the man blurred out, to see how I can change the feeling of the photograph.
This diorama can be viewed for free in the entrance of Miniature World; I'm looking forward to going back and seeing the whole show, I hear it's extensive. For more information, check out their website:

On our travels to the Catskills for hikes, we've passed a farm right along the road that has a sort of "petting zoo" right off the road complete with a parking lot, updates on new additions, etc. Well, we finally stopped last June after a hike and so glad we did!! We saw this cutie along with many other creatures:).
Happy Furry Friday everyone!!!I attached a link about Miniature Donkeys.
